We finally have an update on rookie
Nick Bosa's hamstring injury, which he sustained during Tuesday's practice, the second of organized team activities. The San Francisco 49ers confirmed that the defensive end suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain and will not practice for the "next few weeks," according to multiple reports.
The 49ers made Bosa the No. 2 overall pick in April's draft. Being sidelined the next few weeks means missing the remainder of OTAs and will likely miss the team's mandatory minicamp, which runs from June 11 through 13. That will be the last time players practice together before training camp kicks off in late July.
Bosa is one of two pass rusher additions for the 49ers this offseason. The team traded a second-round pick in next year's draft to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for Dee Ford, who had a career-high 13 sacks last season.

"He works very hard,"
Ford said of Bosa this week. "He's a really good guy. You hate to see [an injury] for a rookie because he's really progressing, and he's going to be important for the defense. That D-line room, we're really starting to mesh."
Bosa racked up 17.5 sacks in just over two seasons with Ohio State. He and wide receiver
Deebo Samuel are the only unsigned rookies from the 49ers' latest draft class.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.

This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
